2014 Esperance de Trotanoy (Pomerol)

A lot of luxury wine isn`t that pleasant to drink, but Trotanoy is an exceptional property and L`Esperance is a fabulous, approachable, top class right bank Bordeaux. It is a second wine and one from a vintage that has been underrated. It is aromatic, chock-full of Merlot floral character as well as ripe plum and the first hint of some sexy new oak. On the palate the wine is limpid and caresses the palate and here you really do get a luxury texture and intensity of fruit. Really super stuff. (CW 21/11/19)
